Abstract
This study proposes to develop an integrative approach to conflict resolution and conflict negotiation to end the war in Yemen. This study offers a multi-dimensional analysis of the peace negotiations processes to study past and current efforts of the international community in conflict resolution, identifying the partners, goals, and strategies in the peace negotiation process, as well as reconstructing the historic background of the conflict, demands, and claims of the fighting sides. As such, I will take the following steps to study this conflict.
-
Situate the conflict in its historic context, identify all parties of the conflict and their demands, and highlight the main points of disagreement for each side of the conflict.
-
Identify the international agencies and foreign governments involved in peace negotiations and conflict resolution.
-
Identify the main strategic goals of peace negotiations; their motivations, demands and mediating tactics. Provide a chronological reconstruction of peace negotiations, and identify changes in the sides’ positions, pointing at ground for compromise.
-
Systematically analyze the successes and failures of international efforts in mediating a peace agreement, identify their strengths and weaknesses and develop an integrative proposal for peace negotiation reflecting on the analysis of previous negotiation efforts.

Attached is my research paper for this fellowship. After consulting with Dr. Avdeyeva as well as Dr. Kaufmann, it was agreed that exploring my topic as a research paper was the best format for this fellowship.
